Feature enhancements to the SmartDebug tool provide the ability to evaluate transceiver performance while modifying transceiver lane signal integrity parameters on the fly, and to evaluate the channel noise of the transceiver receiver through the eye monitor. In addition, a demonstration mode allows customers to evaluate SmartDebug features without connecting to a hardware board.
The enhanced design suite also includes significant runtime improvement for SmartPower, with a 4x speed up of invocation time and almost instantaneous switching between different views.
